DISCIPLINE
The concept of "discipline" has a new perspective for me. Previously, when I heard the word discipline, I would think of something unpleasant, of having to force myself to do something I don't want to do, but do it anyhow, since I believe it is good for me, or I will
like the end result.
In some areas of my life, such as in my work, I have thought of myself as relatively disciplined, in the sense that if I say I will do something, it will get done. In other areas, my 'self discipline' is inconsistent. For example, I would decide to follow a workout routine, and then after a few days or weeks, it would just feel like one for thing I couldfeel bad about!
As I looked at this pattern, I realized that in the areas that took what I perceived as 'discipline', I had to FORCE myself to do something I didn't want to do.
…. I came to see that with this pattern, I was expending a LOT of energy resisting myself.
